It’s a massive weekend in Pittsburgh sports. The Penguins-Flyers series begins tomorrow night and the Pirates open a series at PNC Park against the Rays with Mullsy throwing out the first pitch. Poni picked the Penguins to win the series in 7 games, but he isn’t confident. He also believes the officials will call things the right way because they saw his post about Rick Tocchet wanting his team to take out Sidney Crosby. Will there be a surprise performance? Is anyone willing to pick the Penguins to lose? There looks to be an odd-man-out and it could be Justin Brazeau after a 17-goal season. There’s concern that Limits may catch a punch from a Flyers fan in State College this weekend.

How are fans feeling one day before the Penguins-Flyers series begins?

Penguins forward Rickard Rakell joined the show. Rakell made the move from winger to center this season due to some injuries, but was a nice part of the Penguins run to the playoffs. His first career goal came in the playoffs, which has to be an accolade only a handful of players can claim. Rickard said it’s an unbelievable feeling to be back in the playoffs and he can’t wait for Game 1 tomorrow night. Rakell gave a glowing review of Dan Muse, who got the Penguins to the postseason in his first season behind the bench. The guys asked Rickard about the rivalry between the Flyers and Penguins, and his mindset as he gets set for his first taste of that feud in a playoff atmosphere.
